Fractional-Order Oscillators Based on Double Op-Amp

In this paper, complete analysis and design for fractional-order oscillators based on double Op-Amp are presented. The fractional order parameters enrich the oscillator design by offering the extra degree of freedom which adds more flexibility to the design. Two oscillators with double op-Amp are introduced. The oscillation frequency, condition, phase difference and the characteristic equation for

Realizations of simple fractional-order capacitor emulators with electronically-tunable capacitance

A novel resistorless topology for implementing fractional-order capacitor emulators, based on the employment of Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTAs) as active elements, is presented in this paper. The benefits of this topology are its simplicity in terms of component count, compared to other existing topologies in the literature, in addition to its electronic tunability. The performance

Frequency-dependent effective capacitance of supercapacitors using electrospun cobalt-carbon composite nanofibers

Mixing carbon-based materials with pseudocapacitive material is a widely used strategy to prepare high-energy, high-power supercapacitors. However, phase separation is inevitable after extended charging/discharging which leads to the degradation of performance metrics of the device. Here, we prepare in a single step cobalt-incorporated carbon nanofibers (CNF) by electrospinning homogeneous

Design of fopid controller for a dc motor using approximation techniques

This paper introduces a study of fractional-order PID (FOPID) controller applied to a DC motor. The idea is to control the motor speed using the FOPID and compare it with the conventional PID controller. Two approximation techniques are employed to realize the FOPID, which are Matsuda and Oustaloup, each with order four. Different responses are depicted for various fractional orders. A specific

Feature selection via a novel chaotic crow search algorithm

Crow search algorithm (CSA) is a new natural inspired algorithm proposed by Askarzadeh in 2016. The main inspiration of CSA came from crow search mechanism for hiding their food. Like most of the optimization algorithms, CSA suffers from low convergence rate and entrapment in local optima. In this paper, a novel meta-heuristic optimizer, namely chaotic crow search algorithm (CCSA), is proposed to

Low-voltage and low-power fractional-order parallel tunable resonator

A novel implementation of a fractional-order parallel resonator, capable of operating in a ±0.5 V power supply voltage environment, is presented in this work. Compared to the corresponding already published structures, it offers the benefit of reduced circuit complexity, due to the utilization of very simple voltage-mode 1st-order filter sections, leading also to reduction in the dc power

One-terminal electronically controlled fractional-order capacitor and inductor emulator

A novel topology for simultaneous emulation of fractional-order capacitors and inductors is presented in this paper. In particular, only one control terminal is used in order to select the type of the element as well as its fractional order. This is achieved through an appropriate fitting of the expressions of the intermediate bias currents, in such a way that, eventually, only the adjustment of

Generalization of third-order low pass filters to the fractional-order domain with experimental results

This paper is concerned with the generalization of continuous-time 3rd order low-pass filters to the fractional order domain. Three fractional-order capacitors of the same order α are to be considered in the process of filter design. A complete mathematical analysis of the 3rd order fractional low-pass filter is given with stability constraints taken into consideration. Finally, several low-pass

On the realization of Current-Mode Fractional-order Simulated Inductors

The objective of this work is to revisit the design criteria of current-mode simulated inductors in order to realize their fractional-order versions. Numerical simulations and SPICE circuits simulations are carried out on these generalized fractional-order simulated inductors. As well, fractional-order low pass filters based on the proposed circuits are realized and validated. © 2019 IEEE.
